Leann and Melissa discuss the importance of the family and ways to build closer relationships with your family members.

Ponder Questions:

What does my family need to grow, thrive and bear fruit?

What are the best things I can do to strengthen my family?

Am I focusing on the positive?

Am I telling my family why I love them?

Invitation:

Ask yourself, “What is the next step to shore up my family?”
